title: [Thyrolipoma. A case report and review of the literature].
abstract: The authors report a case of thyrolipoma in a 50 year old woman, presenting with nodular goitre and tracheal compression. Microscopically, the coexistence of adipocytes and thyroid vesicles within the thyroid nodule is characteristic of this rare tumor. The relationship between this tumor and diffuse thyroid lipomatosis and amyloid goitre are discussed.
